See Which Avenger Marvel Just Assigned to Your Home State

Ever wonder who your local Avenger is? You'll soon be able to find out, as Marvel is assigning heroes to all 50 states (plus Puerto Rico and Canada) as part of its upcoming U.S.Avengers initiative.

The new series hits newsstands in January, where all 50-plus heroes will be revealed on their own variant covers. But to tide us over, Marvel has released eight of the heroes and their new sworn areas to protect. First up is Captain America Steve Rogers, who will patrol the first state, Delaware. Captain America/Falcon Sam Wilson will watch over Maryland, which we're assuming included D.C. as well. Tech wizard Iron Man gets Silicon Valley and the rest of California, while Harlem native Luke Cage will take care of New York. X-Man Beast gets his state of birth, Illinois, as does the Winter Soldier, who will defend his home state of Indiana. New Orleanian and former Captain Marvel Monica Rambeau, who goes by Spectrum these days, is assigned Louisiana, and Russian Black Widow gets Connecticut... for some reason.

We're looking forward to finding out who the other 40-plus local Avengers are, but we probably won't find out until next year unless Marvel feels like giving another preview before then.
